Were there other things happening in your life that you had to
manage?
Were you sick?
Did work get in the way of devoting adequate time for studies?
Were your personal relationships affected? (for instance, a
loved one falling sick or passing away, a break-up, etc.)
Complexity and Nuance
The bar exam tests your ability to apply legal principles to
complex
scenarios
and
consider
different
perspectives.
However, this requires you to understand the legal principles (at
least from a broad level).
Life Responsibilities
Bar Exam Study Materials
Were you able to understand the study materials?
Did you have enough time to become familiar with them?
Are there study aids you believe could be helpful based on your
learning preferences?
All these situations can get in the way of successfully reaching your
bar exam goals.
These are questions to consider as you gear up for the next attempt.
Self reflection is key, as is being honest with yourself. Take some time
to analyze your performance, and talk to mentors, tutors, or a trusted friend to
gain insights into your study habits and exam-taking strategies.
